If you check Rom. 2:28-29, you will see that letter is outward, but the Spirit is inward. The law in itself is holy, just and good. The nature of the law is spiritual. The only problem with the law was that it was outward and therefore could not give life. The Spirit does not deny or cancel the law. The Spirit takes the law from the outside and brings it inside (Jer. 31:33). Are you trying to prove that the nature of the law is death? How would you comment Rom. 7:12, 14?
